30 PEOPLESPORT FOOTBALL Hodgson to rebuild after WC disaster LONDON: Memories of a dismal World Cup campaign will need to be cast aside when England welcome Norway to Wembley for a friendly today. Roy Hodgson’s men failed to win a single match in Brazil, and the subsequent retirements of experienced figures Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have left the manager with sizeable holes to fill ahead of his side’s Euro 2016 qualification campaign—which gets under way in Switzerland next Monday. However, Hodgson who has handed call-ups to uncapped quartet Jack Colback, Fabian Delph, Danny Rose and Calum Chambers as he bids to wipe the slate clean, believes Norway are in a similar state of transition, with key players approaching the end of their career. -GOAL Negredo joins Valencia on loan Super League side Modern Coast still optimistic of survival after dismal run by Barry Silah @barry_obel National Super League side Modern Coast are optimistic of better tidings following a not so impressive run that has left them in danger of relegation. MADRID: Valencia have confirmed the signing of Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo on a season-long loan deal. The Spain international has joined Nuno Santos’ side for the 2014-15 season, with the Liga club set to make the move permanent next summer. Negredo’s move looked to be in doubt as City fell back in the race to sign Radamel Falcao from Monaco, but as the transfer window slammed shut until January, Valencia confirmed that an agreement had been reached to bring the former Sevilla man back to his homeland. -GOAL Sandro signs for QPR from Spurs LONDON: QPR have signed Brazilian midfielder Sandro from Tottenham Hotspur for £10million (Sh1.4 billion) after the midfielder spent five years at White Hart Lane. After some tough negotiations lasting several hours, QPR manager Harry Redknapp has been able to land his top target for the day. Sandro said on Facebook: ‘’I’d like to thank Tottenham Hotspur for everything they’ve done for me. Spurs has been my home since I moved to England and I loved every minute of my time there. I can’t wait to get started at QPR now and look forward to wearing the famous hoops for the first time.’’ -DAILYMAIL letting upNo Rangers FC Nakumatt FC FC Talanta Oserian FC NATIONAL SUPER LEAGUE ZONE A P W D 13 9 2 2 23 10 13 29 15 8 4 3 15 5 L Nairobi Stima FC 14 4 7 3 10 9 1 19 Ligi Ndogo FC 15 3 8 4 14 Kariobangi FC 14 3 Bidco United FC 15 3 Adm Police FC 14 3 Modern Coast FC 13 3 Mahakama FC 12 3 Moyas FC 15 2 4 9 10 7 4 11 5 7 8 5 6 8 5 5 7 3 6 12 13 8 3 2 21 8 13 27 15 7 3 5 18 14 -3 16 13 -5 14 17 -9 14 12 -5 14 21 -9 12 19 -9 10 14 4 24 15 -1 17 GF GA GD PTS 10 28 Agrochemicals 15 11 2 2 21 Homeboyz Zoo Kericho Shabana FC West Sugar St Joseph FC Finlays FC L Nzoia United 15 5 Busia United 14 5 GFE 105 FC Karuturi Sports 14 0 3 11 7 Hotsprings FC 14 1 0 13 5 15 1 NATIONAL SUPER LEAGUE ZONE B P W D 14 10 2 2 23 9 14 32 13 9 1 3 27 14 13 28 15 9 1 5 23 11 15 8 3 4 18 14 6 6 2 12 8 4 24 14 6 2 6 13 5 5 16 2 7 11 3 11 7 11 12 28 7 27 11 2 20 16 0 20 19 -8 17 21 -14 6 26 -19 3 30 -25 3 GF GA GD PTS 7 14 35 Joseph Mbugi of Rangers shields the ball from Geoffrey Maina of Mahakama during a National Super League match at City Stadium. PHOTO: JAMES MAGAYI The coastal team currently lie 10th on the 12team log with 14 points from 13 matches and although they have two games in hand, they face a tough survival task. Head coach Mohammed Muchula is, however, promising a positive run especially after working on team organisation and tactical awareness. ‘’Yesterday (Sunday), my side was very good against Nakumatt especially in attack and we controlled the game for a long period. But in football, you must utilise your chances and that is what we failed to do,’’ said the former Pumwani United tactician. In Sunday’s encoun- ter, both teams had to settle for a barren draw in a high intensity game that could have gone either way. ‘’This is only my third game in charge but I’m happy with the boys attitude. We will have to work on a few weak spots before our next game away to Ligi Ndogo. We want to collect points and the position we are currently in is worrying but our target is to stay up and fight till the end, ‘’ added Muchula. Injuries have not also helped Modern Coast’s situation and Muchula believes once his new signings gel, they will be good to go. ‘’We played with three players who were not 100 percent fit, Seif Bonge and Mwalimu Matano had just resumed training after sustaining knocks but overally, they did well. The point we earned is not bad considering my boys were facing a talented side who are also in the championship race,’’ said Muchula also known as Moha. He went on: ‘’We are back to the drawing board given we are yet to win in the second leg, but I’m hopeful as we have not lost.’’ Modern Coast face Ligi Ndogo in their next fixture on Saturday at the City Stadium.
